Is Your Story True? Exploring Narrative through the Enneagram

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, “What if the story I tell
myself and others about who I am and who I'm becoming isn't true?”
As children, we all construct stories, or narratives, to help
make sense of our environment. These childhood interpretations set
in motion the patterns of behavior that shape our personality…or
how we show up for life. But, when you can understand the
false story around which you have organized your life, then you can
begin to play with that story a bit to find your true story. And,
though you can’t change the facts of what has happened in your
life, you can change the way you interpret them.

The truth is, that if you want to experience enduring
transformation, you have to discover your false story, decouple
yourself from it and begin to live the truth of your new story.

In today’s episode, we’ll walk through the false “stories” that
each Enneagram type needs to let go of in order to allow your true
self to emerge.
